This article covers a developing story. Continue to check back with us as we will be adding more information as it becomes available.

Summary Alex Garland's Civil War is projected to earn $11 million in its second weekend at the domestic box office.

This total places it at No. 1 for the weekend, above Abigail and The Ministry of Ungentlemanly Warfare.

The movie is on its way to becoming one of A24's biggest hits of all time.

Civil War is continuing its box office domination. The new movie, which is A24's most expensive release to date with a production budget of $50 million, was written and directed by Alex Garland and follows a group of journalists documenting the skirmishes that take place on American soil when Western forces led by California and Texas attempt to secede from the union. The ensemble cast includes Kirsten Dunst, Wagner Moura, Cailee Spaeny, Stephen McKinley Henderson, Sonoya Mizuno, and Nick Offerman. During its opening weekend, the movie earned the company's highest-ever debut with $25.5 million.

Per Deadline, the Civil War box office will continue dominating the domestic market during its second weekend in theaters. At the time of writing, it is projected to close out Sunday with a 3-day domestic total of more than $11 million, which would place it at No. 1 on the chart for the weekend. This means that the holdover hit will have outgrossed several major wide-release titles that premiered the same weekend, including the Universal vampire horror-comedy Abigail and Guy Ritchie's Henry Cavill war movie The Ministry of Ungentlemanly Warfare.
